Do you have any facial distortion when stuttering? I do, so I know that I won't be able to maintain eye contact simply because my whole head is moving. Thanks for the advice, though! :)...

Usually I just excuse myself and try to say it again, and if the second attempt fails I say that I can't say it and apologise (is that ironic? It amuses me a little). In general my block is worse with...

I'm interested by this. I wonder if the tics you're noticing are accessory behaviors (physical movements that accompany some moments of stuttering). Without seeing him its difficult to know. But given...

Timing of stutter/blocking and fluency

Timing of stutter/blocking and fluency My son has a stutter which is mostly blocking and some physical tics. The physical tics tend to precede his periods of dysfluency. Now his periods of fluency and...

I have a secondary behavior where I move my arms or body in kind of an up and down motion when stuck on a block. One day I'm in the passenger seat of my friend's car and as we're having a conversatio...

I especially loved the body language one. I actually stammer when im a bit excited,scared or anyother emotion which is even a bit intense. I hope the body language thing helps me cope up with it. ...

The guy stutters using his lips, that's typical bad acting of stuttering. When we stutter we use the larynx, stomach, and anus (Valsalva hypothesis). The same way you block your whole body when you tr...

I have tried valsalva and it didn't help very much. I have gone through each of his steps but I'm still around the same level of fluency as before. I have become self aware when I block and there isn'...

I see how this makes sense, but it's not related to blocks, for me, and it's not a behavior I developed in regards to stuttering, at least not consciously. It just happens for as long as I can remembe...

You swallow? PM me. All kidding aside, maybe it's a secondary behavior you developed to counter your throat tensing up during speech? You know, like a block. Sometimes PWS will swallow, yawn, or cough...

Does anyone else feel a need to swallow in nervous situations?

Does anyone else feel a need to swallow in nervous situations? I've noticed that sometimes, when I'm faced with an uncomfortable "challenge" of some kind, like when someone says something to me that I...

I definitely feel you on this one. Especially in a group setting, like when the group is asked to introduce themselves. As soon as the leader says "Let's go around the room..." my heart starts beati...

Stutter

Stutter Does anyone here sort of pull their neck muscle when trying to get a word out? I've never met anyone else that has a stutter that does this, I look even more weird when I stutter because of th...

For me, These options to deal with blocks aren't that appealing. Substituing words will build up fear. And pushing through a block comes with a lot of struggle. Have you made an effort to learn pullo...

I would like to, but I cannot. The way I stutter is almost seizure like. My head tilts back and I am almost looking up at the ceiling, sometimes my eyes even roll back in my head. ...

I try to maintain eye contact, but I feel bad about it sometimes -- like, they're continuing to stare at me, waiting for whatever needs to come out. Then again, if I don't keep eye contact and there a...
